A peine servie elle développe dans le verre un arome puissant de houblon herbacé. L’amertume plus prononcée est sa caractéristique principale. L’usage d’un houblon noble, le Saaz, lui confère pourtant une amertume peu agressive. La bière est sèche en bouche, servie bien fraiche elle est très rafraichissante.

very hazy grey-ish yellow colour, huge, not too dense, though still quite long lasting head; aroma of grape peel, grains, grape juice, earty-wine cellary and slight lemony notes; taste of lemony, earty, white wine-like, yeasty, some hoppy-medicine bittey and slight grape peel; correct one

Swing top bottle. Love the label. Blonde, cloudy. Yoghurt, yeast and flowery and earthy hops in both aroma and flavor. Thick mouthfeel, very much like skimmed milk. Vegetable notes. Strange brew.

T: malty, spicy, decent bitterness, floral, bit wort like, there is no carbonation so probably lack some priming sugar, medium body, big fail.

Cette La Grognarde, simple mais efficace, saura contenter tout amateur d'amertume. Avec Brewers Gold et Saaz, la brasserie Sainte Hélène joue sur le fruité et l’élégance. L'impression en bouche fait légèrement plus que les 50 d'IBU indiqué, et aucun houblonnage à cru n'est indiqué alors que l'impression en bouche pourrait le laisser penser. Cette amertume franche et racée se ressent dès l'attaque. Les arômes prédominant sont ceux du nez, à savoir les fruits jaunes, la camomille allié à des notes herbacées. La deuxième bouche est linéaire mais sur une amertume très appréciable et saillante qui perdure jusqu'au final d'une bonne longueur. L'équilibre est quant à lui bon avec un alcool pourtant qu'à 5,5 % qui fait bien son travail. Bière parfaite pour se rafraîchir par chaleur!

Bottle. A mostly foggy orange colored beer with a dense finger-thick white head leaving some curtains. Perfumed hops in the aroma, grass, pine cone notes, flowers and a peppery touch, with generic fruityness, some yeast notes, a touch of pale malts and canned peaches. It's full-bodied and nicely carbonated, perhaps a bit much, but nice for a Belgian beer, semi-dry, and with a decent bitterness. Spiced, grassy, lightly piney hops, some flowers and a yeast touch, canned peaches and some white sugar, tropical fruits and some bready pale malts in the flavor. Lasting fruity, piney, peppery finish. Delicious indeed, love the way they used the hops. Complex, tasteful and moreish. 180718

33cl bottle starts to gush on the pop, then pours a mostly clear gold with some frothy, sticky, white head. Nose is OK, couchy, straw, some paper, lemon rind, some potpourri. Flavor has some stale bread, straw, grass, hay, some lemon, a little white pepper, some honey. Finishes full bodied, spritzy.

Donkergeel bier met enorm veel schuim wat helaas snel wegzakt. Smaak is bitter hoppig en licht zoet met iets van kardamon en druiven.
